Abstract
The state of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the European Union (EU) in the context of the EU framework governing business and human rights (B&HR) is worthy of consideration. This chapter follows the top-down approach: it explores the relevant EU legal and policy framework, takes into account the overarching European Commission’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs and related developments at the EU and broader international level, as well as the European Commission’s strategy concerning corporate social responsibility (CSR) and issues related therewith, aiming at examining their compatibility and, eventually, suggesting integrating proposals.
